Most underrated City in East Texas Longview,Tyler,Nacogdoches,Lufkin (Austin: apartment complexes, get credit)

[dee936]

I would say that Longview is over shadow by Tyler which doesn't make sense to me.Longview have all the quality of life and living as well as Tyler but people think that Tyler is the top dog.Longview offer alot of retailers that you won't find in Tyler and the same goes for Tyler.Longview is just as important to Northeast Texas as Tyler is.Both city malls feature different stores and both malls have good shopping.
Nacogdoches is also a city that is over shadow by Lufkin because alot of the business district is heavily
concentrated in the inner city then on the travelers route US 59 future to be I69.Nacogdoches and Lufkin are both opposite,in Nacogdoches you have a major universty Stephen F.Austin and natural trails that cover the city and side walks that cover most the city then basically any city mention.The city is consider the hilly city of east texas because the downtown sets in a valley.If you are coming in east of downtown or west of downtown you will be a quater of a mile up in the sky dazing at the lighting of downtown and surrouding business and homes.Lufkin has a slight edge on shopping with more of a conservative environment.Lufkin has wonderful highway system that compells to a city of over 50,000 and Lufkin and Nacogdoches both have national chain resturants and retail you won't find in Tyler or Longview and the same goes for them.To Sum this up Nacogdoches and Longview are the under dogs with Tyler taking all the credit for want to be the only major hub of east texas but don't have all the qualitys to claim it.

Have you ever driven into Tyler at night from the south on 69? Its a pretty amazing view for East Texas given all the tall trees that block most everything. Downtown, Uptown, & the Med Center are all three seen off in the distance with the city lights of Tyler twinkling down below. You get a good 8-10 mile view from this particular vantage point.

Yea I have seen that but it doesn't compare to Nacogdoches because unlike Tyler, trees are not block the view of downtown Nacogdoches east or west of downtown.Metro Matt give Nacogdoches its props please that would be very nice

You probably stayed on Loop 224 and didn't adventure into the inner city.

Nope, just pointing out facts. I will say that East Texas does not get credit for having the varying topography that it does.
Downtown Nacogdoches elevation is 302ft, highest point in Nacogdoches County is 720ft. Only 900ft short of a quarter of a mile.

Actually your making false statements because orton hill on the east end is a quater of a mile high by calculation of being in a car.

Yeah, I bet the view from those towering 4 story New York City developer apartment complexes are awe-inspiring and I'm sure the Taco Bueno near by adds a little class as well.
